Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork loin roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Rub it all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic cloves and mix them in a small bowl with the rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the garlic-herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork loin roast.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin roast on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the pork loin roast (not directly over it).

Step 7

Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Roast the pork loin for about 75-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork loin rest, covered, for 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

While the pork loin rests, prepare the pan gravy: Place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat. Whisk in the butter and flour, combining them with the pan juices.

Step 11

Simmer the gravy for 3-5 minutes, whisking frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.

Step 12

Slice the pork loin roast into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve drizzled with the pan gravy or on the side. Enjoy!
